Breitbart ^ | 04/28/2024 | Pam Key

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that military aid to Ukraine was not charity, adding that it created jobs in the United States.

Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to ask you about your legacy. You said just this week that you often feel like the only Reagan Republican left. As you prepare to step down from your leadership position this year, what are your greatest concerns about the future of the Republican Party?”

We are who our leaders are. We CHOOSE THEM to Represent us/USA. It is on us. Even the sin is on us all. WE live and pledge ourselves to our Representative govt, and what IT does, is on all of our heads Nationally/collectively.

I agree. Our country has moved radically to the left in ways unimaginable to our grandparents!

Yes, I had forgotten about that. I don’t think lobbyists are going anywhere, they’ll adapt somehow. The jobs I’m referring to are the actual people who make the weapons, Machinists mostly.

For Trumps sake, I hope he doesn’t become President. He will be remembered as “The man in charge” when America fell.

I hate to say it or think it, but we are finished. Best case scenario, we become the pre Spanish American war, pre WW 1 country of old. A nation of farmers, ranchers and dreamers.

When this countries leaders decided to take out the British Empire, or be there to “take the mantle” from them. They set the US on the natural path to what we are now. A nation dripping with the blood of dead. For what reason did this happen? GLORY for the leaders, funerals for the grunts.

But we’re footing the bill, so it’s charity.

"You've GOTTA have a war going on in order to have a good economy."

That's what he's saying.

Of course, if you're a conscript or a 19-yo patriotic kid who gets snookered into some hsit like Korea, Vietnam, or the ultimate example being WW1, a good economy is kinda moot if you know what I'm saying.

WTH is this fossil talking about?

He has been saying this for a while now.

He loves rubbing MAGA noses in it.

Here he is saying the same thing last year — June 12, 2023:

“Let me be clear: this assistance means more jobs for American workers and newer weapons for American servicemembers.”

Any day, Russia will blow up a bunch of “advisors” from NATO in Ukraine, then WW 3 commences. GTFO of the cities people. It is time to drop all and get ready to survive. This MIC is NOT getting any of my children, or grandchildren. Let them feed the illegals into the MCI MaChIne.

I think that war was fought (over there). Our country had this false sense of everybody being involved. Women went to work, fed the war machine, and the men were ground up in untold numbers. THIS time, it will be here. It WILL BE REAL.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “for every 8 Ukrainians killed, we create one good paying American job.”
***************************************************************

I’d like to see how much is spent for every American job. It won’t be too many jobs and will be a huge money amount per job.

And EVERY SINGLE PENNY OF THIS SPENDING WILL BE ADDED TO OUR NATIONAL DEBT.

EVERY SINGLE PENNY.
